Nicki Minaj is beyond lucky she didn’t show up early to film Tekashi69’s music video, because the room that got shot up was intended to be HER dressing room … TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ … at least one bullet pierced the window Thursday night on the master bedroom. As it’s the biggest one in the Beverly Hills mansion, it was supposed to be the room where Nicki and her crew chilled during the music vid production.

The most worrying part of this story?

We’re told the original plan was for 6ix9ine to be in that room, but he decided the day before Nicki should have it. That’s interesting because if the shooter had inside information from the set, they might have aimed at that room targeting Tekashi .

Poor Nicki. She’s inserting herself into hood shït that she’s just not built for. It was different when she could just talk, pretend, front, gas herself but now the smoke is seemingly everywhere and she’s JUST NOT ABOUT THAT. I can only imagine her in the dressing room, hiding in the closet talking about “ IM STANDING RIGHT HERE”.

Easy. Imagine Nicki in that same scary aśš coward stance she was in when she was hiding behind security lines… but inside of a closet with the lights off 😂😂😂 it’s hilarious

Your comment is dumb asf. Street or not who would just stand in front of a gun and get shot? As if somebody was shooting at Cardi she would stand there like I’m hood so I’m gone get shot. Her ass would be running too.

I like Onika a lot but I hope she separates from 69 professionally. I don’t want anything happening to her. She needs to realize that she is a legendary artist in female rap music so she should be working with artists that are legends or will be legends one day. 69 is neither so kick him to the curb.how about another Bey and Nicks song instead?

TROLLmine I AGREE! I think at this point nicki needs to rebrand herself, maybe she can create a new alter ego and release some new FRESH material with a new aesthetic under the new name. She could call herself CINNAMONQUANTAVIANEEKA . Whatchu think sis(bro)?

Nicki needs to watch the company she keeps especially at her age. Momma you are pushing 40, why are you hanging with 21 year olds? Just do your verse in your studio, collect your check and go about your way.

Nicki Minaj’s endowments to Pop culture via Hip-Hop music haven’t gone unnoticed by the brilliant minds behind the National Museum of African-American History & Culture who have honoured her art by naming her a “pioneer of Hip-Hop.”

Her 2018 may have been crowned the most controversial year of her career to date (as we reported here), but thanks to good news from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) it looks like 2019’s kicking off on the right foot for Nicki Minaj.
